Comme des Garcons x The Beatles clothing and accessories range
It's made in very limited numbers in Japan, it's made by Comme des Garcons and it has the Fab Four's official stamp on it. You just know this Comme des Garcons x The Beatles clothing and accessories range isn't going to come cheap.
But if you love the band and like a bit of exclusivity, it could be for you. The range includes Apple / The Beatles-branded t-shirts, polo shirts and a rather pricey, but very eye-catching transparent tote bag, which you can see over the page.
But the most interesting design is this reworked Comme des Garçons x The Beatles Spring Court plimsoll. We have featured the originals in the past, which were popular with '60s mods and worn by John Lennon on the cover of Abbey Road. The new version has both the Apple and Beatles logos, plus the exclusivity of course. However, this limited edition is almost three times the price of the basic version at £110, so maybe for the hardcore fan only.

The Beatles Colour Chairs
As well as reproductions of iconic designs, Base Classics offers a custom pop art range, which includes The Beatles Colour Chairs.
The shape of the chair is inspired by Eames’ Eiffel Chair, but rather than having a stark white seat, the face of a Beatle is imprinted against an acid bright background. There is the option to have the design printed on the back of the chair only (£250 per chair) or on both the back and front (£325 per chair). The price per chair is reduced if you buy two or more to £175 and £250 – and with this particular design, it would make sense to buy four.
